blob sti owners
 

hi

just trying to find a little out about my new car , my bonnet is really light and flappy are they all like this ? the doors are loads lighter than my classic do these cars have light weight panels. as there suppose to be heavier cars i dont get it .

thanks for any info

All Newage WRX / STI have aluminium bonnets.
Other panels are steel.

thanks for that :)

yes they do,

The first time i took my car on the motorway and it was a bit windy i saw the bonnet bouncing up and down i pulled over into the hard shoulder to make sure it hadn't jumped up onto the catch.

Don't even notice it any more.

I believe a lot of the extra weight is in the chassis, although i could be wrong.

first time i took mine over a tone one the motorway the bonnet was higher than the top of the wing scares the s..t out of you

S C O O B Y since your looking for some info on your new blob sti ill point out 2 common problems you can get on this model both i have had to fix on my blob first being knocking struts which you will get at some point when you own the model can cost £££s to fix and second but not to bad is leaking water in the boot which is caused by water getting in through the bottom seal of the rear window.

Blob sti are great scoobys but still have there problems.:brickwall

thanks for that tam1981 my car has the prodrive suspension on it so dont no if that will cure the problem . but i will keep my eyes and ears open
